Mint Chocolate New York Style Cheesecake + Canon DSLR GIVEAWAY!

Silky New York Style Cheesecake filled with delicious pieces of Mint Chocolate.

Errrrmahgosh! I have one thing to say; Mintiest breath, ever. EVER! If you have someone in your life suffering from Halitosis, for a lack of better words, send them this cake. Stat.

However? Um… you know… I don’t even know. Sometiiiiiimes… I just get realllllly carried away. I saw cream cheese, I saw Andes-type mints (I’m cheap – alternative brands all the way!), I saw cake. The following step involved a mixer and the next best thing happened; thy cheesecake was born.

In all honesty, and is if you didn’t know, cheesecake is soooooo my thing. I’ve waxed poetic about my love for sweet cheesecakes – I ♥ cheesecakes! Have you tried my Pear Almond Cheesecake Torte, yet?? You really, really should…it’s incredible. BUT, my favorite, hands down, is New York Style. I can’t say that I’ve had anything better.

This, this, THIS awesomeness is just that. AWE.SOME!

I didn’t think the chunks of chocolate would work. I mean, I knew that it would taste as good as I imagined, but I just wasn’t sure if those chocolate pieces would stay afloat.

The only thing I knew was that I could try the trick I use for my fruit muffins; toss the fruit in some flour, cross your fingers, and say five Hail Marys!

So, I did that. And it worked!! Mint chocolate pieces were all over the place; top, middle, near bottom, to the sides… I loved it!

And if you love yourself and your family, you will make this now. Yeah, right now! It’s necessary!!

Sorry for the shouting, but that is also necessary.

Also, also? I need to scream just one more time because, in case you didn’t notice, I’m giving away a camera! Yippeeeeeeee!

ENJOY!
